My Winter Outlook for DC area 2021-22
Temps:-0.5 to -2.5.
Snowfall:12-15”
i don’t have a monthly order because too much conflict.
Analog years 1979-80, 1992-93, 2010-11
interesting to note 1979 had a record setting snow around 10/10 so let’s see if we get a cold precip event. 1993 had probably the biggest weather event ever around here March 1993. We dont give the credit for huge single events like that but do apply 5” credit
We deemphasize ENSO as it’s erratic and it always come down to the cold air source for DC. We mostly take occurrent events from March into Sept and look for matching patterns or events and forecast forward.
I remember about 3/4 years ago Isotherm and me both predicted a -5 February and it hit and although I don’t say Feb I do think we have one -4/-5 month.
Thats it and let us know what your outlook is.
